a BURSTING DRUM
Damages the Portland g. Rochester's
Paint Shop.

Yesterday morning, at ten minutes before
twelve, the residents in the vicinity of the
Portland & Rochester railroad buildings at
the foot of Hanover street, were startled by
loud report The cast iron drum attached
to the water heating apparatus, by which the
paint shop. belonging to the road. is warmed,
had exploded with great force, breaking all
the glass in the windows, and blowing the
sashes and piece of the wall on the north
west side of the building out into the street.
Pieces of wood we're afterwards picked up
nearly out to the channel in the Back Bay,
and the street in the vicinity of the building
was strewn with splinters. One piece of
iron forced its way into the open air by
knocking a hole in the roof.
The shop is situated opposite the large
planning mill on Kennebec street, and is a
one story structure. Tracks run through it,
so that the cars to be painted may be run in
and out, but at the time of the explosion
there were no cars in the building. 1t is
supposed that the accident was due to the
freezing of the pipes. Employees of the road
had been in the building a short time previ-
GUS to the accident. The heating apparatus
had then been attended to and left apparent
ly in proper condition. As it fortunately
happened, when the explosion occurred
there was nobody on the premises or in the
vicinity to be injured by the flying iron and
wood. The repair shop adjoining was not
injured. The loss by the accident will be
about $50.
The explosion was so loud that it was
heard by residents on Bracket street, and a
gentleman asleep in house on Green street
was awakened by it.

mrs. lewis 3. smith.

Mrs. Lewis B. Smith, wife of Deputy Col
lector Lewis B. Smith of this port, died in
Maiden, Mass, at the residence of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Bosworth, on Saturday, at p. m.
Mrs. Smith had been in failing health for
several years past, but she went to Maiden
to spend Christmas accompanied by her hus-
band and her son Fred. She enjoyed her
Christmas dinner very much, but that night
was taken with an attack of cramp so severe
that physician was called. A few days af-
forwards symptoms of uremia set in, and
although she improved somewhat, she began
to fail again in day or two, and went into
comatose state. Last Friday afternoon the
doctor said the symptoms pointed to fatal
termination and DR.. Charles d. Smith went
up at once. His mother recognized him but
in fifteen minutes afterwards relapsed into
Inconsistencies from which she never. rail-
lied, dying on Saturday. Funeral services
were performed by Rev. DR.. Bosworth in
Maiden yesterday afternoon and the funeral
will take place from her late residence on
Carlton street, in this city. on Thursday at
2.30 o'clock.
Mrs. Smith was Miss Eaton, and grand
daughter of Major John Trowbridge, one of
ouT,old and venerated citizens. She.was. always
identified with our charitable associations,
especially those connected with Free street
Baptist church. She leaves one daughter,
Mrs. Bosworth, and three.sons, Charles D.,
Lewis and Fred. The family will have the
sympathy of a very wide circle in their be-
reavement.

The Portland COMPANY.

The Portland Company on Saturday deliv-
cred to the Maine Central Railroad one fine
looking Acton freight locomotive 1t is the
first Of six that are to be delivered to 9his
road. This engine has cylinders II inches in
diameter and "a inches stroke, and foot dri-
yers. twill be known as No. 20, and will be
used entirely for heavy freight service,
As this engine went up Commercial street
Saturday from the works to be delivered over
to the road, it took along with it two Pullman
cars that have been fitted with the Sewall
heaters by the Portland Company. This
heating arrangement worked very satisfac-
torily. No stoves are used in the cars, but
they are piped for steam which is supplied
from the locomotive. The pipes run along
under the Seats and on Saturday, although
the day was very cold, the cars were warm
and comfortable. This is the first trial of the
Sewall Heater, which bids fair to mark new
epoch in railroading. With no stoves, and
with all the steam furnished from the loco
motives, there will be no danger Of those ter
rible bonfires which accompany almost every
railroad accident.
The Portland Company are doing a great
deal of business at the present time. Besides
the large order for twelve locomotives Just
received from the Boston and Maine, they
are now building large stationary engine
to be used in tube mill in Boston 1t has
heretofore been unusual for Boston business

FOR DEFENDANT.
The suit of Mrs. SWEET Against the
Citizens Mutual Relief Society
Decided.

In the case of Mary P. p. SWEET against
the Citizens Mutual Relief Society of Port
land the Law Court has just given a decision
for the defendant Judge Libbey drew the
opinion. This was a suit brought by Mrs.
SWEET, surviving widow of William II. SWEET
to recover $1029 the amount of the society's
insurance upon her husbands life.
The plaintiff husband applied in writing
to be admitted to membership in the Citi-
zens' Relief Society representing that his
age was 50 years. On the blank on which
his application was made were the words
None admitted over sixty" Hewas admit
ted, but it subsequently appeared that he
was GA years of age, having been born Janu-
airy "a, 1912. The society refused payment of
the insurance on the ground that he had de-
ceived them in regard to his age, and the
widow brought this suit to recover the
amount. The rescript has not been handed
down, but it is understood that the Law
Cou 1T decides practically that the deceit of
the plaintiffs husband violated the policy
and that therefore she cannot recover. NJ.

The Portland Fraternity.

Under the auspices of the class committee
aided by the corps of teachers, the fifteenth
annual supper was given last Saturday even
ing to the boys and girls of the Fraternity. at
the rooms on Free street The pupils march,
ed to their places at the tables to the lively
strains of the piano, presided over by Miss
Foster, and after blessing was invoked by
the Rev. VIM. B. Hayden, despatched the
viands placed before them with the ability
and promptitude that has always shown
their appreciation of similar delicacies
They were further regalediwith violin solo
by Miss Goodwin, pleasingly accompanied
on the piano by Mr.. Burnham, which called
forth an enthusiastic encore. A vocal duet,
and a solo by Mrs. Nichols were greatly en-
joyed and completed the musical programme.
The remarks of the evening were made by
the Hon. w. w. Thomas. Jr., who was intro
duced very felicitously by President Far
rington. The boys and girls listened with
the utmost attention to Mr.. Thomas's graph
ic description Of persons and things in old
Sweden. His language and methods Of IL
lustration carried home to their minds the
lesson that was intended in the motto Little
things may be little things, but order in lit
tie things is great thing" He cited one of
Sweden's most prominent men, with chances
for success in boyhood, apparently less than
those of the boys before him, who attributed
his prosperity to the fine training which he
received from a good old peasant woman
with whom he had been put to board. 1t
was also gratifying to those who had the fes-
tival in charge to have with them their old
est director, Mr. Thomas, ST., whose yener-
able yet vigorous aspect always gives weight
to his remarks upon temperance and recti-
tude, and to whom on more than one ocea-
sion the boys have listened with pleasure
and profit. While the above programme was
being carried out in the main hall, the Fra
ternity primary committee in their rooms
were having an entertainment of games and
music, followed by drill from the Cadets,
which gave great delight to about two hun
dred little fellows. On the whole, it was the
Fraternitys most successful and pleasurable
anniversary.

The winsIow Packing COMPANY.

The American Grocer, the trade paper of
the largest circulation in the country, has the
following in its issue of January 5, 1887.
wINsLow PACKING COMPANY.
The largest packer of corn in the United
States is the Winslow Packing Co., of Port
land, Me-, Gen. G. p. Mattocks, president.
Last year the company put up 1870 cases
out of total peck in Maine of 430,17O cases.
Two years ago the ''Snow Flake Sugar
Corn" was first introduced to the trade. 1t
had the largest first years sales ever reached
by new brand. $50 high and uniform was
the quality that the jobbers heavily increased
their orders with the result of making the
second years sale the largest ever reached
by a new brand. We have frequently tested
the Snow Flake" and can indorse the many
fattering opinions recorded. 1t gives us
pleasure to record the phenomenal success
of the brand, because it emphasizes the po-
stion taken by the American Grocer, that it
pays best to pack high grade goods. A good
reputation is the basis of permanent success,
and that can only be obtained by merit and
skill Gen. Mattocks, besides being a pro-
gressive and skilled packer, is public edu-
Gator, and has done grand work in elevating
the character of our prepared food supply.
